The Centre for Innovation in Construction & Infrastructure Development (CICID) of the University of Hong Kong (HKU) with support from the Development Bureau of the HKSAR Government, will launch the Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) Strategy Paper entitled “Modularisation for Modernisation: A Strategy Paper Rethinking Hong Kong Construction” at HKU on May 28, 2019 (Tuesday).

Officiating guests at the event:

• Ir Lam Sai-hung, JP, Permanent Secretary for Development (Works), HKSAR Government

• Professor CK Mak, Vice Chairman, CICID, The University of Hong Kong
• Mr KL Tam, Director of Estates, The University of Hong Kong
• Dr Wei Pan, Executive Director, CICID, The University of Hong Kong

MiC has been brought forward in the Chief Executive’s 2017 and 2018 Policy Address as a new policy initiative to promote innovative construction. This strategy paper elaborates on the MiC policy initiative by providing a definition grounded in the modularisation and production theories and recommending strategies for successful adoption of MiC in Hong Kong in a multi-level systems framework. With the suggested framework of MiC policy scenarios in the short, mid and long term, there is a promising future of marching towards a modern construction industry and society.
